This one is also too cute to just delete.

This isn't a great picture, but it's too cute to just delete.

She's smiling even more now.

I've been terrible at keeping up this blog!

Sydney is doing great! She was two months old yesterday, and was 9 lbs 6 oz last time we were at the doctor (last week). She got her immunizations, and was very brave, barely crying at all. She's still in size Newborn. Hopefully she will hit the 0-3 size when she is three months old.

Video Attempt

I'm making an attempt to put a video of Sydney here on the blog. Hopefully this will work, and by the time you read this, you will be seeing her in motion!

Very Late Update

Sorry, it's tough to get in here and update once we are home! But, things are going well. My mother leaves to go back to Portland tomorrow. Sydney seems to be getting a cold. That scares the heck out of me considering the lung problems she had at birth. Hopefully it will just continue to be a snorkily nose.

In the meantime, here are some new pictures!

Going Home!!!

We are going home!!!!!!!!! More details later, gotta talk to the doctor.

Stuck Here a Bit Longer

How long? I don't know. They won't realease her because she isn't gaining weight. She's not losing, but just maintaining.

I've actually been stuck at the hospital for the last two days. I had my "rooming in" night on Friday night, but a snowstorm hit before I was released. So, it's turned into a 48 hour ordeal now. I'm completely exhausted. It's not just like how it would be at home, which is the idea behind the concept, I guess. I still have to weigh her before and after each time she eats, and constantly take her temperature. She's still hooked to monitors, so I can't walk around with her. She loves to dirty her diaper while she eats, so I weigh her before, stop and weigh her, change her diaper, weigh her again, feed her some more, and weigh her again. I probably took her temperature twice during all of that, too. Then whenever I get her to go to sleep, and I lay down to rest myself, a nurse or a doctor walks in wanting something. Then she wakes up, and the whole thing starts again.

My car is stuck in the parking lot at the Ronald McDonald house. My mom is trying to get it unstuck. I seriously need to get out of here. My mom actually walked in just as I was writing this. Yay!

At the same time, I feel horribly guilty for feeling like this. I want to be with my baby, but I can't deal with being stuck here anymore.

Hopefully we will get to go soon.

Snowed in at the hospital!

Snow, freezing rain, and my mom got my car stuck. So, I'm stranded at the hospital :(

She says hello, and thanks for all of the well wishes!
